- the segment 20 of the base part 13 of the functional block 1 can have an integrated drip tray 12 for collecting liquid dripping from the beverage delivery outlet 3.
- the segment 20 with the drip tray 12 can be made removably from the base part 13 of the functional block 1 in order to rinse and/or empty the drip tray 12.
- the beverage extraction module 2 can comprise a water pump, a water heating unit such as for example a thermoblock or a boiler as well as an extraction chamber.
- the functional block 1 is capable of producing a heated, preferably pressurized liquid and then to feed it into a chamber of the extraction module 2 in order to prepare a beverage in a cup or glass.
- the extraction chamber can be designed to house a beverage ingredient-containing pouch or capsule, which can be inserted from the top surface 21 of the functional block 1 when lifting or opening a lever or lid 22 arranged at the top surface 21. Heated water, preferably under pressure, will then be injected into the capsule in order to interact with the ingredients contained therein.
- the functional block 1 can furthermore be provided with a user interface 23 such as for example switches or buttons in order to control the operation of the beverage production machine.
- the functional block 1 can be placed on top of a matching surface 9 of the support base 4.
- the support base 4 is provided with a power cord 14 which can be plugged into a mains connector.
- the support base 4 is furthermore provided with an electrical connector 5 which can be a cordless electrical connector such as for example a so-called "Strix” (trademark) connecting device commercialised by Strix Company Ltd.
- the lower side of the functional block 1 is provided with electrical connection means such that it can be supplied with electrical power from the support base 4 via the preferably cordless electrical connection 5.
- the cordless electrical connection 5 is arranged in the centre of the matching surface 9 of the support base 4.

- the cooperation of the functional block 1 and the support base 4 is designed such that at the same time when the functional block 1 is supplied with electrical power by the support base 4, it can still be rotated around the vertical axis relative to the support base 4.
- the matching surfaces of the functional block 1 and the support base 4 are designed as a rotational sliding bearing around the centre of the support base 4.
- profiling means could be provided on the top surface of the support base 4 (and a matching lower side of the functional block 1) which promote a rotational guiding of the functional block 1 relative to the support base 4 and which limit the risk of electrical displacement of the functional block 1 vis-a-vis the support base 4.
- top surface 9 of the support base 4 and the matching lower side of the functional block 1 can be selected or treated such that the friction between these two cooperating surfaces is reduced.
- rolling elements such as pads, marbles or rollers could also be added on the upper surface 9 of the support base or on the lower surface 8 of the functional block to favour rotational gliding.
- a liquid collecting means such as a groove 10 could also be provided on the surface of the matching surface to collect residual liquid which could accidentally drip on the base support and so to maintain the bearing surface clean.
- a beverage such as for example coffee while the functional block 1 is placed on top of the support base 4.
- the beverage outlet 3 can assume different rotational positions vis-a-vis the support base 4 without moving the support base 4 itself. Even when rotated the functional block will be continuously be supplied with power through the support base 4.
- the present invention also covers embodiments in which simply the beverage outlet 3 can be rotated vis-a-vis other elements of the functional block 1 around the vertical axis on the support base 4, as long as the beverage outlet 3 can be oriented to different users placed around the coffee production machine 16.
